The cones seemed to contain endless amounts of fiber and certainly looked like they could handle another set of placemats. But. I ran out of the “sherbert” color and while I toyed with adding another color to the warp, I really like the “sherbert” and “clay” together….so I ordered another cone of each. Plenty to finish the placemats and perhaps enough for a future project: curtains for our summer cottage. We just painted it with some really nice colors and now I envision huck lace curtains blowing in the breeze! While there are 4 windows in the room, I don’t have to make curtains for all. Just the street side windows and perhaps valences for the others. But that’s a project later.
While waiting for the yarn to arrive, I decided to use up some of my stash and I am doing a set of bookmarks! I haven’t decided pattern yet – something small and intricate.
This is what I love about weaving – planning projects and sometimes just going where whimsy takes me.
We are buying a Louet S10 double treadle this weekend – hurrah! My sister and I have accrued quite a bit in rental fees which all go toward the wheel. We are excited!

Congrats on the wheel! I’ll bet there will be lots of spinning going on this weekend
There will be lots of spinning but not on the new wheel. That arrives late June but I still have one from Portland Fiber – thank you, Melodi!
